Thanks for the links.

Do I remember correctly there are other states that have previously banned the mandate of RFS?

If anyone could confirm and/or provide links, I would appreciate it.

so what does this mean?

For one-story or two-story structures that are less than 10,000

square feet, whose occupancy is defined in the Florida Building Code and the

Florida Fire Prevention Code as business or mercantile, a fire official shall

enforce the wall fire-rating provisions for occupancy separation as defined in

the Florida Building Code.
